"Least" - this is the final! Lol
I reckon it's not a bad ploy by Tassie, as they'll know exactly how many batting bonus points they'll need to get at the end of the 1st innings

Choosing to bowl first not paying off for Tassie so far with WA 0/37 after 10 overs.

I know Bangas is persona non grata but surely Whiteman should be next in line for test spot?

Really wish he was keeping was so annoying when he gave up the gloves. He wouldn't do a bad job opening but doubt they go that way. Lets be real Smith/Khawaja have lets say 12-24 months left, so is he realistically going to be the best opener then? Jeez you'd hope not, you would be hoping one of these younger options is ready by then
Six runs off the last 7 overs after such a blistering start.

BJ should be used to loud noises eminating at the WACA.

Could be the case, although I haven't seen Cartwright roll the arm over for a while.

It might be too early to write off Tassie but when you fail to take a wicket in the first session after choosing to bowl it makes it tough to win.
WA with a great platform now to get a big first innings total.

Vic were 0-100 earlier this year and WA beat them by an innings.
Regardless it's a good start

That was Chandrasinghe in the final last year, batting so slowly it was putting pressure on his partners to hit out.

Still need a decent run-rate in the first 100 overs because of the bonus point factor...Tassie can win the game with a draw

You also don’t want to be gifting them wickets in that 100 overs as that earns them bonus points aswell.

Yep. The first 2-3 days is all about getting the BP lead. From there you can control the game to an extent. i.e. bat for a draw if you have to in the second dig.

I tuned it about 45 minutes in. That must've been how long it took the bowlers to find their lengths cos it's been solid bowling since. Darcy Short in particular looks susceptible and has had some luck.
